Avance® Negative Pressure Wound Products - Avance® Solo Closed Incision Starter Kit, 10cm x 20cm, 1/bx, 2 bx/cs

Please note: All prices are for cases.

The Mölnlycke® Avance® Solo Closed Incision Starter Kit (SKU 8881020) is a sterile, single-patient use negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system designed specifically for the management of closed surgical incisions (ciNPT) and low-to-moderate exuding wounds. The system utilizes Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) Technology™ to deliver a continuous, regulated negative pressure of -125 mmHg for up to 14 days. By combining an absorbent multilayer dressing with a 50 mL distal canister, the system effectively manages exudate through both absorption and moisture vapor evaporation while transporting excess fluid away from the wound bed to prevent saturation.

Key Features

• Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) Technology™: A proprietary airflow system that ensures the pump delivers a consistent -125 mmHg vacuum even in the presence of wound fluid, reducing the risk of therapy loss.
• 14-Day Continuous Therapy: The single-button pump is programmed to operate for up to 14 days, accommodating extended post-operative recovery periods.
• Safetac® Technology Wound Contact Layer: The soft silicone adhesive layer allows for easy repositioning during application and is clinically proven to reduce skin stripping and pain upon removal.
• Dual Exudate Management: Features a breathable film backing that allows for high moisture vapor transmission while the 50 mL canister collects excess liquid to prevent dressing saturation and maceration.
• Visual and Audible Alarms: Integrated sensors provide notifications for "Leakage," "Blockage," and "Low Battery," ensuring the user is alerted to any interruption in therapy.
• Ergonomic Portability: The compact, pocket-sized pump and distal canister design allow patients to remain ambulatory and maintain daily activities during treatment.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Closed Surgical Incisions (ciNPT): Indicated for high-risk surgical sites following orthopaedic (hip/knee arthroplasty), cardiothoracic (sternotomy), and OB-GYN (C-section) procedures to reduce surgical site complications.
• Vascular and General Surgery: Management of groin incisions, laparotomies, and ventral hernia repairs where stabilizing incision edges is critical.
• Chronic and Acute Wounds: Suitable for managing low-to-moderate exuding diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, and traumatic wounds.
• Grafts and Flaps: Provides stabilization and fluid removal to support the successful integration of skin grafts and surgical tissue flaps.

Important Safety Information

Before starting therapy, evaluate the patient’s nutritional status and address severe malnutrition.

Signs of possible infection or complications must be addressed immediately. Monitor the device, wound, surrounding skin, and patient status accordingly to ensure effective and safe treatment and patient comfort.

For patients with ischemic condition or at application of a circumferential dressing, extra monitoring of wound status is required to avoid risk of compromised circulation.

Avance® Solo Pump is equipped with visual and audible notifications and alarms. Ensure that carrying or placement of the pump allows the user to detect audible and visual notifications and alarms.

When the Avance® Solo Pump battery low alarm is triggered, replace the batteries in the pump. Only use the type and model of lithium batteries specified for this product by Mölnlycke® Health Care.

Fixation strips provided with the dressing must only be applied on dressing borders. Do not apply fixative strips, or other occlusive dressings, across the dressing wound pad, due to the risk of low breathability leading to maceration.

Application of certain skin protection products or using cleansing products prior to the application of the dressing may affect the ability of the dressing and fixative strips to adhere securely and create sufficient sealing.

Do not use the products on patients and/or users with known hypersensitivity to the products' ingoing materials/components.

Ingrowth of tissue may occur if the dressing or wound filler is not changed according to recommendations or as appropriate for the individual patient's wound condition.

Consider use of a non-adherent wound contact layer (Mepitel) to protect fragile tissue.

Do not place the pump with canister in water or other liquids. Disconnect the pump and canister if the ingress of water is observed.

For daily hygiene routines, do not expose the pump with canister or dressing to extensive contact with water.

Avance® Solo Border Dressing should only be applied and changed by healthcare professionals.

No modification of this device (pump, canister, tubes, dressing) is allowed as modifications may significantly compromise the system's ability to deliver therapy. Products in the Avance® Solo NPWT System should not be used with products from other NPWT systems.

Do not cut the tube or detach it from the canister. Do not cut the dressing. Do not disassemble the pump. 

Avance® Solo Pump is not intended for use aboard aircraft. Remove the batteries during air travel.

Avance® Solo NPWT System products are provided sterile. Do not use if the sterile barrier is damaged or has been opened prior to use. Do not resterilize.

Do not reuse Avance® Solo NPWT System products. If reused, the product's performance may deteriorate, and cross contamination may occur.

For CT scans and x-ray investigations, keep the pump out of the x-ray or scanner range. In the event that the pump is within a CT-scan or x-ray range, be sure to check that the pump functions correctly after the procedure. The potential for electromagnetic interference in all environments cannot be eliminated. Use caution if the pump is near electronic equipment such as anti-theft equipment or metal detectors and ensure proper function.

Warnings

Application of NPWT may increase the risk of bleeding. If sudden or increased bleeding is observed, immediately take appropriate action to stop bleeding and seek emergency medical attention.

Patients at high risk of bleeding, such as those receiving anticoagulant therapy or with altered hemostasis, must be monitored closely during therapy. Be sure to establish hemostasis before applying therapy.

Patients at risk of bleeding complications due to a history of vascular anastomosis or friable, irradiated, sutured or infected blood vessels, for example, should be monitored carefully during therapy.

Patients undergoing NPWT need frequent supervision. Routinely check that the negative pressure therapy is active, the dressing should be contracted and firm to the touch. If it is necessary to discontinue therapy, the time elapsed without negative pressure must comply with instructions from a healthcare professional.

Be sure that the pump, dressing and canister tubes, quick connectors and transfer port are positioned to eliminate the risk of - imprints - contamination - entrapment or strangulation - kinking or blocking of tubes - exposure to heat sources.

Cover or remove sharp edges or bones in the wound prior to the application of the dressing due to the risk of puncturing organs and blood vessels.

If defibrillation is required, disconnect the pump and remove the dressing if its positioning interferes.

Avance® Solo Pump is magnetic resonance (MR) unsafe, do not take into a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. Avance® Solo Border Dressings and Avance Solo Foam are MR safe. The impact of the dressing and foam on magnetic resonance tomography (MRT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) artifacts is unknown.

Avance® Solo Pump must not be used in oxygen rich environments where there is a danger of explosion, e.g., a hyperbaric oxygen unit or in therapy/investigations involving microwaves. For the dressing, static electricity may be created when removing the release liner from the strips, so Consider if the dressing needs to be removed for safety reasons.

Avance® Solo Pump is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.

Spinal Cord Injury: If the patient experiences autonomic dysreflexia (sudden elevation in blood pressure or heart rate in response to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system), immediately stop the therapy to help minimize sensory stimulation and seek emergency medical attention.
